He did change his behavior! He unfollowed/reported harassers and eventually rejected all new followers by taking his accounts private. And then the harassment came via other avenues!

What more are you expecting him to have done? And why wasn't it OK for him to try remaining open to possibly-friendly strangers for as long as possible? And he's not "screaming" or indeed complaining about anything, he's just describing a chain of events.

He's condensed around 3 years of on-and-off-again harassment and on-and-off-again countermeasures into a few paragraphs. You can either read it charitably, and assume other consistent and reasonable details for things unsaid, or read it in a hostile and suspicious manner (as '@ResistRadio' has).
My disclaimer was accurate: I am ignorant about these things. I going camping this weekend. Can't think of a better subject to Google while out there (gotta love coverage in California) and learn about.
The other downside of Features in Drupal is that if we export something as a Feature (say a View) and then our site builders tweak and change that View for our clients and then we update some core element of that View and re-export the Feature, that re-export will overwrite any custom changes that were made to that View, thereby trashing any of the custom changes. This is a real problem with Features to which I'm surprised there has not yet been a good solution.
I am charging $100/hr. Although I am not dealing with simple stuff like creating a theme or "build social network for XYZ from scratch using Drupal." I either fix complicated bugs and provide a guidance of best way to build site. My clients often pretty knowledgeable technology-wise, but I have insight into how Drupal work inside and therefore can provide great advice on how to do something or rather not do it at all.

As Drupal matures and become even more complex beast I expect my rate become even higher in next 1-3 years.

So, yes - Drupal is paid well now, but no - not basic clicking around and basic theming.
BLAKE and Skein inject a message block by first running it through the block cipher (as key in BLAKE, as plaintext in Skein), and then XORing the result with the message block to get a new state. JH XORs message block into one half of the state before permutation, and into the other half after it. Keccak XORs message block into a part of state before permutation, and that's it.

You are responding to the author ;).

That said, I wholeheartedly agree.

Did Drupal dev for 2 years, and my biggest takeaway was: Don't go around installing custom modules for one dinky feature. Wrap it up in your own custom module.

Less dependency hell to deal with, and not only that, you'll have a much easier time debugging code you wrote yourself.
Related idea time!

So this is really great, and for a while I've been thinking about what a stock market game for pop culture would be like. It'd serve as a great discovery tool, like searching for that penny-stock that's going to blow up, and it'd be a great way for fans and haters of particular celebrities to duke it out in the market place (think of the 50 Cent / Kanye competition, or the rabid fans of Chris Brown and those who detest him). You could gather information from across a whole host of resources (imdb, movie ticket / record sales, tabloid sites, twitter, spotify plays) to come up with predicted performance forecasts for each celebrity. Something like that would make people feel they played a direct part in a particular success story. Early "investors" would be considered more loyal fans, you could incentivize using concert tickets and schwag, etc, etc - there are lots of ways to 'gamify' it.

This is more of an aside than a comment specific to the article.

Over the past year I've felt that the term "troll" is increasingly being confused with what would have been called "griefing" back in my gaming days. My early encounters with trolling were that it was your fairly basic ribbing of friends, nothing particularly malicious. Nowadays, anything and everything seems to be labelled as trolling when I feel that the circumstances with malicious intent would be better labelled as griefing. Not only do I think griefing is a more apt description for the behaviour being associated with trolling, I think it allows for a distinction between harmless fun and out-to-cause-harm when describing activity on the internet.

Proper distinction between the two modes would, imo, help keep frames of reference and hopefully prevent knee-jerk reactions to what is currently labelled as trolling affecting a more wide variety of interactions.

Also, it would probably help a lot when the next newbie asks you what "trolling" means as well.
I care if he's lying because his story was re-printed in The Guardian, where I read it, as truth. If it's not a true story, it's wrong to present it as such.

Oh, and where did I say Volcker and Bernanke should use the same policy tools?

The big difference between Volcker and Greenspan is that Volcker stood up to congress, while Greenspan caved to the politicians and gave them the bubble they wanted. And politicized the Fed.

"And much of the housing portion was political mandate."

We don't need copyright anymore
Copyright was never about rights holders making money. That was merely a necessary side effect to ensure the primary purpose: ensure that people write their ideas and make them available and widely read. Copyright was to spread ideas, because a society flowing with ideas is a healthy and growing society.

The web proves that people will write high quality ideas (and shit) for free. Other people will read those ideas, and society is healthier for it.

So, eliminate copyright. We no longer need individual temporary monopolies to promote the spread of ideas, people have found other ways to make money from their ideas that don't require copyright, and they have found other benefits besides money.

We're wasting resources enforcing copyright. It was never about rights holders. We've figured out how to spread ideas without copyright.

Kill the copyright.

Treating execution (engineering) like a small treat and highlighting "ideas" (the marketing team) as the main goal is a bad idea.

Execution (as in engineering) is the art.

As someone once said: "It's not an algorithm. It's not "idea" in, "product" out."

First problem is this;

"An engineering team implements the actual solutions that are designed by a group of marketers and designers; among other things, Pita's team oversees the proper execution of the projects."

Get rid of the different teams. Hire engineers that know marketing/copy writing and design. And get rid of the "management" and "overseeing" portions. If you're not executing, you're not doing.

Best quote.
"Oh good, now it only takes 24 people to design and implement a page with 'proper' HTML 4/5 + CSS 1/2/3 + JS that is 'responsive'."
Finnish Nazi Website Hosted In Germany, Finnish Police Unable To Act
Suojeluskunta.com is the most violent Finnish extremist site we have seen so far. It contains incitement to extreme racist violence, death threats and terrorist manuals. The ideology of the site is close to that of Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik.

Suojeluskunta.com is hosted in Germany by Host Europe, which apparently doesn't mind hosting violent Nazi propaganda. And Germany is supposed to have strict laws about such extremism.

Here are Google translations of some Finnish news articles about the terrorist website:

MTV3 - "Central Bureau of Investigations Tracking Suojeluskunta.com" - http://tinyurl.com/8e3eny6

Kansan Uutiset - "Murder Manual Available Again On Suojeluskunta.com" - http://tinyurl.com/kansanuutiset

Suojeluskunta.com is also an identity theft site, since the users of the website are often using the names of people who are actually opposed to racism. It is by far the worst Finnish extremist site we have ever seen.

The website is available on the Internet as well as in TOR network. The Internet version of http://suojeluskunta.com is using the IP address 83.169.20.105. This is Host Europe in Germany. Reporting it to abuse@hosteurope.de doesn't help at all. Apparently Host Europe is quite happily helping terrorists.

You can use Google Translate to read the site:

English: http://tinyurl.com/suojeluskuntaenglish

German: http://tinyurl.com/suojeluskuntagerman

Beware that the terrorists are posting using the names of people who have commented critically about the website. Therefore the names of many writers are actually the names of people who are opposed to terrorism.

My cofounder lost about a thousand dollars worth of games when he bought Left 4 Dead 2 via PayPal.

PayPal, as it sometimes does, reversed the transaction due to its fraud detection systems, through no fault or instruction of my cofounder.

I still buy Steam games, but only on sale.
Misconduct accounts for the majority of retracted scientific publications
I see this as two problems.
1. Too many options. They even mentioned it "Did I log in with Facebook or Google or Twitter or what."

2. Having both social & native logon.

You could actually solve both by either 1. Only using native logon. or 2. Picking one (maybe 2) social logins.

I went with #2. Granted it was on a small test site, but the trade off of managing customer logins sucks. I'd rather have google get busted for getting hacked than for my little SQL DB getting attacked.

The way I look at it, I have time to write code and secure it to the best of my ability. However, Google and other social logins have whole teams that can manage security and keep up to date with the latest technology etc.

So there is more to social logins than the actual act of logging in. And some of the problems listed aren't really with social logins, but rather with a particular implementation.

Right, features is not perfect. Upgrading a feature from D6 to D7 has been a pain to me.

I've merged features together and it was not as hard, at the end it is all code, you just need to be very careful, but at the same time you have git to revert if something goes wrong.

I don't understand the part about committing just one feature. You can commit just one =P.

Features is indeed the answer, and all of the potential issues are manageable.

I finished up a project earlier this year that has more than 300 modules active in a custom install profile, with 10MB of features modules stuck in there. We committed/contributed to a few fixes in core and Features to speed it up greatly. That's out in the wild on major sites and doing fine.

We didn't have any terrible admin screen issues, or indeed any terrible issues beyond occasional painful version control collisions.
If people shopped smarter, they could find laptops with discrete graphics for significantly cheaper. After the deal I found, I'm paying about $420 for a system that comes with an i5 Ivy Bridge, 6gb RAM, NVidia 630M... And it came with a free bookbag to boot.
If your phone is iPhone-ish in size, you may try what I did. After getting a stiff-rubberized phone case (you stretch it around the phone), tape the cards to the case. If you cut a notch in an old card, you can have that be the card against the tape -- the rest of the cards can slide in and out against that card or the phone, and are held in by the force of the tape.

I call it the PhoneWallet. I made one for my droid Incredible.

Without telling us the install rate, "doubled" is just lying with statistics. Did you go from 10 to 20 daily or from 10k to 20k? Play says that you have 10k+ installs total (not a lot), so it looks more like the former.

If your initial number is really low, minimal work can double it. If you are doing well, the same work may give you a small percentage improvement, or even nothing. It's called "law of diminishing returns."

> But after some further consideration, we decided that it was a false risk, as the username reminder form already tells you if a username exists [...]

Alright so this security hole already existed in their system elsewhere. After raising the issue that this type of message leaks data, which is a completely valid concern, they dropped it because they were already leaking that data elsewhere? It isn't like email based account reset/reminder forms have to leak the existence of an email within the system, a fact they just gloss right over.

For a system that stores quite a lot of very sensitive data it is surprising to see them knowingly keep such a hole open. I understand the desire to smooth out the user experience but this honestly seems more driven by the desire to not field customer support requests for what feels like a "stupid issue".

I'm not currently a MailChimp customer but I used to be and before reading this I would have chosen to use them again if the need was there. Please don't compromise the security of customers for convenience.
On one hand there is Features modules and tons of modules built on top of it.

On the other hand - if this problem could be solved - Drupal become holy grail, which should not exist! :)

Easy to trace an IP to the ISP that owns it and often an area of a country via naming schemes.

Not a huge step from there to think "Wait, x uses ISP Y and lives in Z" before burrowing through emails or checking blog comments, etc. Could be that two people were commenting from the same IP, but with different devices which suggested the son rather than the friend could be responsible.
I've seen and used these as well. They are OK, but you need to still remember to bring the key-fob. Because it does not come out of the pocket/purse nearly as much, makes it (oddly) somewhat of a PITA to keep an eye on. Example: I read one time of a guy having this on his (Ducati?) Moto and after filling up at the petrol, drove back into his hometown to the Local pub. Later, Bike no longer works, has to have the tow truck come to take him home. What happened? He left the fob on top of the petrol dispenser. He was close enough to start and take off, but as he left, he "lost" the key. But never noticed, as bike worked fine (and it was not visible normally unlike a regular key, etc). Ergo, him stranded. Expensive mistake. Moral of the story is if you don't use it, you lose it. =]

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, the best e-reader yet?
Lenovo just has too many choices (technical term for this condition is SKUs up the butt). A T430 can be configured with one of 7(!) CPUs, some Sandy Bridge and some Ivy Bridge. There are two pairs of CPUs that cost the same. There are four wifi choices, even though the most expensive is only $40 (and is actually available 3rd party for ~$17 on ebay). Lenovo should just always stick the good one in there, and either eat the cost or bump the base price. Whenever Apple offers an option with two choices, Lenovo offers it with six choices, and then there's twice as many options on top of that.
